En esta divertida y provocativa novela de Kingsley Amis, Jenny Bunn y Patrick Standish se han instalado en la vida de Londres con su problemático noviazgo muy atrás. Patrick trabaja en una editorial y Jenny enseña a niños enfermos en un hospital. Han alcanzado un cierto nivel de madurez, o eso creen. No pasa mucho tiempo antes de que se den cuenta de que su respetabilidad se verá severamente probada por unos vecinos seductores con gusto por el whisky, el sexualmente confundido Ted Valentine y el conjunto literario de Hampstead. Amis nos muestra que la dificultad del matrimonio es que es muy difícil de preservar, especialmente cuando Patrick y Jenny albergan profundos anhelos por un tipo de vida diferente.
Sir Kingsley William Amis was an English novelist, poet, critic and teacher. He wrote more than 20 novels, six volumes of poetry, a memoir, short stories, radio and television scripts, and works of social and literary criticism. He is best known for satirical comedies such as Lucky Jim (1954), One Fat Englishman (1963), Ending Up (1974), Jake's Thing (1978) and The Old Devils (1986). His biographer Zachary Leader called Amis "the finest English comic novelist of the second half of the twentieth century." In 2008, The Times ranked him ninth on a list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945. He was the father of the novelist Martin Amis. Amis was knighted in 1990.
